   Xiao Fo's books are truly excellent. I recommend starting with "The Story of Gu," which tells the story of a man who, after returning home from working away from home, is infected with Gu worms by his grandmother and later becomes acquainted with a close friend, venturing into the world of extraordinary people during the Republic of China era. It can be considered a prequel to the Miao Jiang series. The protagonist experiences many hardships before finally retiring successfully. This book fills in many gaps from the previous two books (there's actually another one called "The Story of Miao Jiang," but unfortunately, only the audio version remains).
